Construction and Access

If consented, it is anticipated that construction of Speedwell Solar Farm would start in 2025 and take approximately six to nine months.

Construction traffic would be routed to the site from the A30 via the Treswithian junction. Subject to ongoing assessment work, it is anticipated that construction vehicles would enter the site off Gwinear Lane through a new access point in the south-east of the site, through the area proposed for the new school car park.

We will prepare a Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP), which will be agreed with Cornwall Council. The CTMP will set out measures to control traffic during construction and include management measures to mitigate any potential short-term impacts on the local highway network.

Construction working hours will be agreed with Cornwall Council and will seek to avoid peak school drop off and pick up times.
